Mumbai's infra projects stuck in policy paralysis?

Under attack from both the ruling coalition and opposition parties for his alleged inaction and a prevailing "policy paralysis", Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan says major infrastructure projects, since he took over in November 2010, have gained momentum due to a systematic approach.

The trigger for the claim was a tweet by Union minister Milind Deora that a decision deficit was delaying the implementation of major infrastructure projects in state capital and the rest of Maharashtra.

Substantiating his point, Chavan has come out with a list of such projects such as Navi Mumbai International Airport, Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, Dharavi Re-development Project and cluster development of dilapidated buildings.

A release issued by the chief minister's office also said the government had finalised the pricing and allotment policy regarding houses for mill workers.

Chavan said his dispensation had taken several decisions that were for long remained pending, adding that the last one-and-a-half years had given impetus to various projects of larger public interest.
